Antec Smartpower 450 & 7950GX2 ?

[kohl]

I'm piecing together a system shortly and went with the Antec Sonata II case (great experience with it.... love it). Also ordered an Asus P5W DH Deluxe board and plan on matching it up with a Core E6600.

Question - has anyone run this PSU with a 7950GX2 card? I'm kind of kicking myself right now because while I love the case, it would be a pity to have to replace the PSU right off the bat if I did take the plunge and purchase that card. I could have just saved myself the hassle and went with maybe an Antec P180 case and a beefier PSU.

Thanks in advance!

best thing to do is just try it....if it were pretty much any other psu that came with a case I would say no but that one will probably be fine. The 7950GX2 actually draws less power than a single X1900XT but I would think that going quad would be out of the question however..
